New Redington ct need line help

I picked up a 8'-6" 3wt at Cabelas on sale. I want to try Wulff TT on it I think. Should I choose three weight or four? I fish small nymphs, flies and some woolies. I roll cast a lot on small trout streams. thanks.

Re: New Redington ct need line help

I don't think most people feel the need to overline any of the CT's, although I have overlined mine a time or two and they fish fine either way. With a heavier line they seem less able to turn over nymph rigs, etc, but are still sweet close in with less payload to throw. Just depends on how and where you want to fish.

The bigger issue is the rod is definitely tip heavy, so if you put a light reel on it you'll feel it...

There are a gazillion threads about these rods, but it always comes down to what feels right to you.
